President’s Volunteer Service Award

One of the things that makes Troop 39 the best scouting experience in Chapel Hill. Each Scout of Troop 39 is encouraged to perform at least 25 hours of service every year to earn the President's Volunteer Service Award.

This past weekend, we were invited to Largo Lake, nr Warrenton, NC for a weekend of Wilderness Survival. The weather didn’t co-operate too well but this gave a great opportunity for the scouts to not only build a shelter to keep them warm, but one to keep them dry.

We had some of our newest troop members on the outing who built their shelter and slept in it through the night’s heavy rain.
